    Oh I like finger pointing. Do you not see how you're painting yourself with that post? You feel the need to respond due to all the little people of the former Empire telling ya to go do one? It's gotta hurt I admit. Tell me I'm wrong

    It's quite hard for countries who; - Have much smaller populations - Have different traditions, GAA, Rugby, Caber Tossing - Better things to be doing To compare to a larger nation who have a strong tradition in *insert nasal American accent* soccer. Given that, it's rather a pointless exercise to compare them. What makes fools out of them are; - The larger louts - The undying superiority complex incessantly fueled by Red Top/Sky nonsense - The drought of talent/desire of late Any time Ireland has gone to the WC, we have the craic, and sure if we get out of the group

    Saw two English fans in the crowd, dressed in what looked like WW2 pilots uniforms, England flags draped over their backs... Looked like Colditz inmates with the faces on them lol.

    Cheers john. Your not painting a pritty picture but:D Come with us next sunday? I'll need to see what I have on on Sunday. I've only just got my weekends back to myself as I'm on a course break! All I meant is to go properly prepared, below is a good website on hill walking; http://www.mountaineering.ie/trainingandsafety/tier1viewdetials.asp?ID=10&Tier1ID=15 Stay away from wearing anything cotton.

    Not yet, I'll be walking it this year, but on a different route than the great unwashed will be using. Mind yourself, it's a mountain that has killed people in the past.
  14. JohnGalway
    That's good advice. Lab-tastic, what's you experience of hill walking?

    Agree with you on a lot of owners being at fault in not having proper protection. Certainly Joe, of duck fame, didn't appreciate how the mink could get in. Neither did my mate John, who used an old trawl net to keep foxes out of the hen run - which worked, but the meshes were too big to keep mink out. I'm sure the same can be said for a lot of others too. I know of a young lad on another site, in England I think, and his Dad runs a freerange/organic or some such hen outfit. They had terrible problems with brock bulldozing his was in and having dinner. Naturally brock being protected there

    Sorry, I never answered your question directly. The very first stream I ever caught a mink on is no more than a glorified drain really. In a lot of places it wouldn't even be five inches deep, I'm sure with the practical drought we're having in the West that it's dried up at this point in time. If it were me I'd have a speculative punt and try a trap there. There were some very good points brought up in past old mink posts in my threads on siting traps which could be useful.

    I met a fella two weeks back, just across from the house. He was part of a new market that's been set up in the village, selling fudge, eggs, jams. Doing well the bugger with his 10 reg jeep, nice fella though. He and his Dad, now sadly passed on, used to buy a lot of sheep in this area. So he has a few good sized sheds, one of which they converted ready for some day old ducks. The ducks, 200 of them, arrived on the Wednesday. Joe was at a market on the Friday when his phone rang. The wife. Long story short, Mr Mink had been and killed 133 of the 200 ducks on one visit. I asked him about t

    Deer swim parts of the Corrib here. Different animal, but, when my Dad was a fisherman he roped a cow which was swimming out to sea. She'd left the herd which had been swam from the mainland to an island nearby. Where Dad roped her was over two miles from that island.

    Nice fox Mr TP. What breed is that 12 bore of yours, I like the look of it.
  23. JohnGalway
    I got two, don't quite know why, but I did. I found them very good when I had my .22lr, as the Eley type boxes used to rattle like hell, while these are whisper quiet.

    Saturday June 12th. Received a call about a fox that was seen around the hen house the previous night. I've not shot over this place before so it's new to me. Like most farms around it backs onto commonage. Before I left I'd dressed for a warm night, checked the forecast which was for rain moving East - yeah, but when! On my way there the heavens opened giving me the "uh-oh" feeling. Thankfully it stopped just as I pulled into my destination, stroke of luck or what. The rest of the night was dry and there was a gentle breeze. I had a spot in mind to set up on, I was there a bit early s
